They are there. So what? Nature will eventually let us know if they were capable of survival in that region. Unless human interference keeps nature at bay for just a bit.

Well, I guess we'll all have to agree then that humans are doing a jolly great job of keeping the weather more comfortable for turkeys up there.

Given that they are expanding into the range, however, it does seem that they're doing rather well up there. It's hard to be a consistently expanding population in bad habitat.Would you not say? Not impossible.Mind you, but it takes very, very special circumstances for it to be otherwise. And you know about those circumstances, right?
